The Democrats of New Jersey bnVq carried tbe Legislature and a Democrat will succeed Senator McPherson. A month ago the Republicans were in a position to carry the slate. Then ex Senator Sewell, n retainer of the Penn sylvania Railroad Company, obtruded himself upon tho campaign and proposed to carry New Jersey "for Harrison and protection" and himself. The people promptly rebuked ids impudence and that of the company which "owns and operates" him by electing n Democratic Legislature. The principles of the grange have become too widely diffused for effec tive political leadership by railroad at torneys. It, is suggested that General J unies II. Wilson of this city be given the place of Secretary of War in President Harrison's Cabinet. It is a good suggestion. Gen eral 'Wilson was not only a brave and accomplished soldier, but his attainments in private life, both us u railroadei'and writer, have given him a position in the ■front rank of the American people. The New Castle county Republicans have beim somewhat "down in the mouth" a ever since Tuesday's victory. They think that they ought to have contrih So they ought and they can yet if they are willing and determined. They can contribute General Wilson to the War Department and Anthony Hig gins, Esq., to the United States Senate, and if they can do this much they ought to be satisfied. General Wilson would adorn the Cabinet, and Mr. Higgins could be depended upon to look after Delaware in Congress, serve Us state and its country no lietter than by furnishing it with wise, strong, brave representatives. nted to it.

The citi ■ens of the First nnd Second districts will be at the mercy of these t scoundrels for two years more. In a short time they will b'"iu to make a pretended assessment of all the male citizens 21 years of age in their respective districts. They will perpetrate all sorts of tricks to keen from assessing those who posed to them in politics, whether they are Democrats or Republicans. They will go from house to house, but the voter must not imagine that he Is assessed after he has seen his name written down. Was his name spelled correctly? Was the name of his son or his hoarder, perhaps, spelled correctly? Did the assessor write down the names of nil the men in the bonse? The voter and voter's wife or hit landlady must be alert, wide awoke, or the assessment will not be made, sharp after these two ttndy how not to their questions honestly, names correctly, middle letters and all and in every way help the assessors along.

A SCREW AT EACH END. NEW TYPE Cl r FERRY BOAT TO BE INTRODUCED. It I» to Ply th© North River Between York ant New Hoboken—Something About the Phiu on Which It la to lie Unlit. A new typo of ferry boat is to bo intro duced on tho North river between Now York nnd Hoboken, there lias been lictlo change in the ferry •teats plying in Hie East and Hudson livers, though they liuve grown cousid For many years ./ri S I I , i Ilf B.

They are all propelled by paddle wheels and most of them sport the old timo walking beam; being sharp at both ends they all move in either di - rection with equal facility. broken by the space given to the paddles I so that the passengers in going from one to Hie other must pass through a narrow, dark gang wav. Screw ferry boats have l»een tried and ncccssfuliy in England and at Detroit, but thus far there has been nothing but I»atldles at New York. | . But at last the screw is to lx? tried on ; the New Y ork ferries. The Bergen is the ! name of tho first craft built on tho new ( plan. It was lately launched at Newburg i and taken down the Hudson to the foot of Thirteenth street, where it is now re ceiving tho machinery. The Bergen will bo moved by two screws, ono at either end, the one in the advance pulling and tho one astern pushing. The narrow way between cabins will not exist, m there will be but one cabin on cither side from stem to stern—if such an expression can lie applied to these boats, which are reversible. There arc many advantages in the now plan over the old. The cabins, I icing t much larger and more open, may bo bet ter ventilated, and in case of accident may be more readily emptied. Then the now boat will burn less coal. Where the old I mats bum ten and a half tons of coal the Bergen will burn six and a half tons. Tho space used for tho gallows frame, upright cylinder and the walking beam in the center of Hie boats now used will all be saved for teams. Indeed, the total space saved bv the new plan has been estimated at 1,800 square feet. •T:> so The screws will bo of great advantage in winter in emptying tho slips of ice. At present, wlien tho slips are packed with floating ice cakes, it is the custom to hire a tug to create a current with its screw to carry them out. Of course tho Bergen can use her own screws for this purpose. This is of more importance than will at first appear. At times of dense fog ferry boats have been pre < i " I A 'Jj 1 >■ SECTIONAL VIEW. vented from getting into tho slips by icc and have drifted for houra in tho fog. iu stopping and starting tho boat Hie paddles are far less effective than the screw. Tho great engine working the walking beam cannot be easily handled for Hus purjjose, whilo Hie two screws ufl and stern on ont* shaft may readily bo reversed by tho inverted cumj)ound engines. 'Jho now boat will work more steadily and without the noise of tho paddles, especially disagreeable they strike ice in winter, being under water plow through ice fields. * Tho Bergen is an object of great i_ terest to Hie many people living in Ho boken, Newark and Orange—composed of a numlicr of small stations, which are commonly called the Oranges—who do business in New Y'ork. Morning and evening the ferries are crowded, the air in the cabins is stifling and ice and fog are looked upon witli dread. Any im provement in tho ferry facilities will therefore be of great importance to the many people living on the New Jerecv shlo of the Hudson. It is not known when tho Bergen will lie completed, it is expected that she will be running by the 1st of January, 1889. Sho will doubt less revolutionize the ferry traffic about New Y'ork. when Tho screws c an more readily n but Pop-rico lietter Than Pop-corn.

Tho ascendancy of Baron Von Jackson and his friends Woodcock and Hendry over the old king of Wurtemburg is one of the most remarkable cases on record of tile capture of a monarch by adven turers. Singularly enough some forty Kars ago in the neighboring kingdom of I Bavaria a similar capture was made of I its ruler, but in that case tho capturer was a woman. Lola Montez became Hie favorite of tho king of Bavaria; was in stalled in a lieautiful house iu Munich; made Countess of Lansfeldt, and for time was virtual ruler of Bavaria.

Not having sufficient means to carry him through his course of study, Jack leu to the son appea American consul at Stuttgart for pe cuniary assistance. The consul was ig norant of the Ger man language, while Jackson had become K 1 jtP & M ( A iC E. M. JACKSON. familiar with it. This led to his re ceiving cm] 1 1 o y - ment as interpre ter of tho lega tion. In a year or two, at the re quest of tho con sul, Jackson was kino of wltiteiiuuro made vice consul. Jackson was at this time about 80 years of age. His position aa vice consul was an assistance both pecuniarily and in tho matter of social standing among Germans. Tho consu late at Stuttgart adjoins tho open park near the king's palace, and Jackson al ways traversed the park in going be tween his office and his boarding also used to walk the park, where the king frequently promenaded. Jackson always saluted the king, who after a while came to notice tho American and made inqui ries concerning him. Ho directed tin Jackson sliould be presented to him, and after a few meetings appointed him "reader to the king," a name for an office which enabled the king to make. Jackson an intimate companion. & m .a 1 laoe. Ho m it **» Another account of Jackson' s first in troduction to royalty savs that Jackson's lodging room was in the same building with the chancellerie of tho queen. Ono day she met him on tho stairway. Throe days later ho'was appointed bookkeeper in tho royal chancellerie, and was often soon in company with tho queen. Then he came to an intimacy with the king. whcreu[ion the queen dropped him ami exerted all her influence against him. The king appointed him companion and then privy councilor. The king vms at this time over 60 years of ago and very retiring. The queen was the Princess Olga of Russia, and is aunt to tiie present czar. When young sho was considered ono of the most beautiful women in Europe. At the timo when Jackson appeaml on the scone there was an estrangement between the king and queen. They did not aj» pear together in public even on state casions, Indeed there was a tacit un derstanding that each was to lie indepen dent, without interference on the part of tho other. Jackson succeeded in heal ing this breach. For the first timo in twenty years the royal couplo dined tq gether, and thenceforward lived amica bly. This was of course a blessing— a blessing bestowed by tho diplomatic talent of Jackson who was seconded by tho good will of hath tho king and the queen. Jackson received the honorary title of "Von" and soon after was made baron. Then followed tho office of privy councilor. # * Jackson, meanwhile, found it more profitable to renounce his American citi sonship than to retain it.

Tho announce ment of tliis fact is a surprise to many Protestants, who are not aware that there arc sufficient colored Roman Cath olics in tho United States to constitute a convention. a con The home missionary work done by the Catholics during tho past twenty years, however, among the col ored people lias been considerable. Since the civil war the Roman church has bee quietly extending'its influence among the negroes in die south, and its work has resulted in a large number of verts. The colored people are not associated with the Roman church in the minds of tho people of the United States. They are regarded as Methodists, Baptists . Presbyterians, especially the first. But it is not so elsewhere. The white inhab itants of the Spanish-Arnerican states used to seeing their colored people wor shiping at tho altar of Hie Roman church. In the Spanish and Portuguese West In dies the negroes are all Romanists. In the United States before the civil war, ex cept iu Baltimore, in New Orleans and in St. Augustine and Key West, there were few colored people members of the Roman church, but during the last quarter con • »r are antury many schools, orphan asylams, con veuts and semi naries liave been established. There is at least ono church in each of these cities, New York, Ric limond, Wash ington, Kerwick, Petersburg, Iax- j ington. Louis-dS ville, Bardstown,|a| St. Louis, Cincin-M-r,,,.-,, nati and San An-W™f \// tonio, New Or- " leans, (Quincy, St. Paul, and in Char leston there are two churches. All these places also have colored Catholic schools. There are two orders of colored rums in America.
